Instead of filling all mine entrances, bat-friendly security grates should be installed where bats use mines.

Bat grates work to keep people out of dangerous abandoned mines, and keep ecologically important bats safe at the same time.

When, with your support, I'm elected to the Arizona Legislature, I'll work with the public, mining companies, State Mine Inspector Joe Hart (R) and other officials to be sure old mines are secured in a conservation-minded way.

Hello! I am writing a blog post for National Pollinator Week (next week) and would love permission to use your photo as an example of a pollinating bat. I would be sure to give you full credit and have it link back to your post.
